Summary note

"Economic crises since 2008 led to the rise of populist, extremist, Far Right, and conspiracy-focused movements. Emotions borne of economic crises produces cultural discontent (i.e. enflames conflicts over values and identities), an approach we call Affective Political Economy. The book studies these dynamics in Europe and the Americas"-- Provided by publisher.
